Oman is officially starting the holy month of Ramadan today (that’s the 2nd of September). Ramadan is the month of the Islamic calendar in which Muslim’s fast during day time. All major Muslim countries started fasting yesterday, but Oman somehow always starts one day later or one day earlier (we think that the government just like to be unique) and this year was no exception. We hope that all of you guys have a great time with your family and friends during this time of the year regardless of where you are.

We have previously published a number of tutorial in Islamic themes and which you can make use of if you are working on any Ramadan related project:
